3. Examples of predictive control applications

The approach presented in this dossier is applicable to a wide class of systems. Although limited to the field of electrical engineering, a few such systems are given below to show how the approach is applied and to give an idea of the variety of objectives that can be included in cost functions. Further examples can be found in the literature, in particular at . The examples presented here have been selected to illustrate a specific feature or possibility:

• possibility or necessity of using observers or estimators (§
